• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the okra under cold running water and pat dry with a clean towel. Trim the stems and cut into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.

Step 5

Add the minced beef or turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the canned diced tomatoes and stir well to combine.

Step 8

Mix in the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Add the okra to the skillet, gently mixing it into the minced meat mixture.

Step 10

Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the flavors are well blended.

Stir in the lemon juice before serving.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
